Abstract

The word nano-formulations are a composite form from nanotechnology. The latter is a term which connotes synthesis or design of structural materials into a minutest scale ranging from 1 to 100 nanometers (Bhardwaj et al. 2019; Fabiyi et al. 2020; Kumar et al. 2024a; Mariyam et al. 2024). Nanomaterials (NMs) metamor phosed from the use of these structural materials and are practically smaller in size even than the given scale above. There are a number of specific attributes that comes along with the use of these NMs; these ranges from relatively limited surface area, increasing reactivity as a result of its unnatural surface structure, chemical composi tion, shape and assemblage. There is need to situate the importance of food in any country as appropriate in this context before exploring nano-formulations further. Food is widely accepted as a basic necessity of life because it is absolutely essential for the maintenance and reproduction of human life (Verma et al. 2024).
